The Places functionality aims to consolidate user data formats, as well as improve the capabilities of Live Bookmarks.

“The BonEcho Alpha 1 milestone is the first of many developer milestones on the path to Firefox 2,” Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering for Mozilla, said in a statement. “We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download Alpha 1, as it is intended for testing purposes only.”

The final release of Firefox 2.0 is expected in the third quarter of this year. Its debut would come roughly two years after Firefox 1.0 was released in November 2004 amid much fanfare.

Personally i’m using firefox as my default browser. The only problem i found on this browser is that it got memory leakage and large consumption of memory. Hopefully new release will get rid of this issue.
